2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.7 V6- Valve cover gaskets

This is definitely not a 'how to' video, more like a 'hOw I duNiT'. No narration is needed. The most important thing is the order of operations since a lot has to be removed to get to the actual gaskets. This particular job took me in total about 20 hours spread out over 2 weeks. There just wasn't a whole lot of good, clear, concise instruction available for this particular job. I hope this video helps anyone wanting to DIY. I believe this is the H27A V6 engine found in the 2006-08 Suzuki Grand Vitara models. The valve covers had been leaking for a while now, but only recently it started affecting the alternator. Oil was getting into the alternator and causing intermittent charging issues so I could no longer put it off.
